Ondo State governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa says security operatives foiled a plot to bomb the Ondo State Government House. He said the plan was uncovered through intelligence gathering and the reports came in about three to four months ago, prompting action.
Aiyedatiwa called the raid one of several recent security breakthroughs in the state. He said suspects first stayed in a hotel, then moved to a rented apartment where the police and the Amotekun Corps raided them. The suspects were arrested and materials and equipment allegedly linked to the plot were recovered. Security operatives are now probing the motive. The governor added the incident shows the state’s security challenges and the need for proactive intelligence gathering.
News of the foiled plot set Nigerians talking. Ocheme Nugwa criticised the governor: “They can have intelligence about their safety, but within the country’s space, terrorists are holding innocent Nigerians captive and milking them for millions of Naira without any trace. Why not extend that intelligence to cover everywhere?”
Mike Kunle launched criticism at the Ondo State governor: “Is this man still the Governor of Ondo State? I’m not sure Ondo State has a governor, oo.”
Chukwuma Okoli demanded more evidence and clarity from the Ondo State governor: “I don’t believe stories like this. How and where are the pictures of those items? Unconfirmed.”
Akinsete Oluwatayo Paul criticised the Ondo governor: “The most useless governor Ondo State ever produced, what a shame on him.”
Mazi Agu wrote: “Family affair next news please.”
